Through the press statement, the Orange Democratic Movement leader has called the police to protect women and children from predators who are out for their lives.
Raila also called the Judiciary to quicken the investigation on such cases and ensure justice is served.
“The Judiciary must also assure Kenyans that justice will come swiftly and fairly where lives have been senselessly lost. Justice is taking too long to come if it ever does for the victims…Kenyans must speak out loudly against the slaughter of children and gender-based violence. These murders cannot be treated as personal or family matters. These are Kenyan matters and must be treated as such,” Raila said.
